About CLEAN Water Drop Association
Holistic, trauma-informed support
for people in hardship.
CLEAN Water Drop Association plays a critical role in supporting vulnerable people facing the overlapping challenges of homelessness, alcohol abuse, trauma, and mental health — rather than treating these problems in isolation.
Our approach
Holistic, trauma-informed care.
We use a holistic, trauma-informed approach to address both immediate survival needs and long-term stability.
Our work spans short-term shelter and crisis accommodation, food and nutritional support, laundry and personal hygiene services, mental health and psychosocial support, mentorship and case support, education and employment pathways, life skills development, and after-hours engagement.
Many of the people we walk with — women, young people, and those leaving custody — face significant barriers including disrupted education, limited employment opportunities, unstable housing, and disconnection from positive networks.
The "No Wrong Door" approach
An entry point to the wider support system.
"Perhaps the most vital role of CLEAN Water Drop Association is acting as an entry point to the wider social support system. When a woman walks into a non-profit hub just to use a washing machine or grab a sandwich, she is met with non-judgmental staff. That single interaction often opens the door to mental health care, legal support, and permanent housing."
Our mission
Provide holistic, trauma-informed support that addresses both immediate survival needs and long-term stability for vulnerable women, young people, and those experiencing homelessness.
Our approach
Hold the whole person — housing, food, hygiene, mental health, mentorship, and pathways into education and employment — through one non-judgmental front door.
Our values
Dignity. Non-judgmental support. Holistic care. Cultural respect. Safe spaces. Long-term stability over short-term fixes.
